\"Plaster<\/div>\n

A collection of residential interiors where the walls have been coated in a variety of earthy-hued plasters, renders and paints feature in Dezeen’s latest lookbook<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Often used as a form of weather protection on home exteriors, wall coatings like lime render and clay paint may also offer decorative touches to interiors.<\/p>\n

Here, we have rounded up eight earthy-toned examples in residences spanning from India to the UK.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive.

Architecture studio DHaus<\/a> updated this Victorian maisonette in north London with an extension<\/a> illuminated by a full-width skylight.<\/p>\n

A pared-back material palette was used throughout the interior, with earthy plaster walls set off by concrete and oak used to form a datum around the base of the space.<\/p>\n

Arch House, UK, by Polysmiths\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Architecture studio Polysmiths<\/a> sought to add a Mediterranean texture to this London<\/a> home through its structural arches and mottled lime plaster finish.<\/p>\n

Reconfiguring the home’s dark and dated interiors, Polysmiths created a series of interconnected living and work spaces brightened by openings and light-coloured walls.<\/p>\n

Plaster finishes were used both internally and externally in this home extension completed by architecture studio Sonn in Hackney<\/a>, London.<\/p>\n

Aptly named The Plaster House, the residence is coated largely in a neutral-toned plaster, while a contrastingly pale green plaster was used in the bedroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taper House, UK, by Merrett Houm\u00f8ller Architects and All & Nxthing<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Morrocan riads were referenced in the design of this London extension overhauled by local studios Merrett Houm\u00f8ller Architects<\/a> and All & Nxthing.<\/p>\n

Using “natural earth-based materials” influenced by the Mediterranean, the angular, skylit extension is defined by clay-plaster walls, exposed brickwork<\/a> and tile floors.<\/p>\n

Lime render was used to coat a series of volumes that make up Casa da Encosta, completed by SIA Arquitectura in Gr\u00e2ndola, Portugal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Intending to “echo the sandy landscape” of the coastal site, the studio used a material palette of wood and lime render, which is used extensively across both the home<\/a>‘s exterior and interior.<\/p>\n

Architecture studio Nowhere used plaster made from brick<\/a> and marble dust to coat this refurbished house in Hyderabad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coated on the exterior with a rough red-brown plaster, the home’s interior was similarly finished using a variety of plaster made from on-site materials.<\/p>\n

Terracotta-coloured concrete<\/a> was used to build the extension to this London home, which has been renovated and extended by local studio VATRAA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inside, the Putney Riverside home features original details, including existing plasterwork, which was repaired using “distinguishable but complementary” lime plaster.<\/p>\n
